Paincourtville man accused of having sex with teen

Assumption Sheriff Mike Waguespack says a 39-year-old man has been arrested for having sexual relations with a 15-year-old girl.

Waguespack tells The Courier (http://bit.ly/V5xXjd) Lonnie Fortner of Paincourtville (PAN'-koor-vil) faces multiple charges of contributing to the delinquency of a juvenile. The sheriff says Fortner was arrested after the girl's father alerted authorities.

Waguespack says Fortner met with the girl on the pretense of tutoring her at a local church. He says the girl allegedly had sex with Fortner on five occasions in return for gifts that included iPhone, clothing, jewelry and beauty-salon visits.
